That being said, a good 6-rated guy can be a valuable asset to any team. While my squad did not make the playoffs, the 6's did pile up good points totals for me:

FLY - Alberto Jimenez - 47 Points
WW - Mark Breland - 45 Points
FLY - Asawin Sordusit - 37 Points
BW - Tancy Lee - 29 Points
LHW - Billy Fox - 22.5 Points

They performed rather well compared to the highest-rated guys on my team:

MW - Artie Towne (8) - 40.5 Points
FW - Davey Moore (8) - 36.6 Points
HW - Lee Ramage (8) - 34 Points
FW - Eugene Crique (9) - 29.5 Points

My disappointments were Azteca and Hoye. Picking at 44 it is unlikely that I'll be able to replace them with anybody that is markedly better. If I was in love with either of the 7 rated LHWs in the waiver pool I'd have claimed them at the midway point of last season and gotten to up cap.

I've got a couple of 6's that do the job: Saverese, Lausse, and Sanchez.
